Potential Heritage Resources

Since 1981, the City of Plano has identified potentially historic properties as part of the city's preservation plan. In 2018, following a city-wide survey of properties and subdivisions built prior to 1970, the project team has updated the city's list of "Potential Heritage Resources." The purpose of this list is to identify properties in Plano which have historical, cultural, archaeological, or architectural importance, either as an individual property or as part of a larger district. These properties are not officially designated historic, but have the potential to be with more research, renovation, or property owner interest. Preservation Plano 150 identified 15 individual properties, 10 cemeteries, and three districts as Potential Heritage Resources. Click the tabs below for more information.
